At Only About Children St Ives Killeaton St, we believe that our holistic approach to childcare gives every child the best opportunity to reach their full potential. Our quality early learning programs are innovative, with a focus on health, wellbeing and education.
Our St Ives childcare Campus is purpose-built and conveniently located at 75 Killeaton Street St Ives on the corner of Killeaton St and Memorial Ave. With undercover parking available, families can enjoy a safe and smooth drop off and pick up every visit. St Ives Shopping Centre and Village Green are just a short walk away, with plenty of options for shopping and further outdoor sports and adventure! There is a bus stop right opposite us, offering services that connect to the wider area in both directions. Both St Ives North Public School and several private schools are within a short drive of us.
With three outdoor play areas, each dedicated to a specific age group, children have plenty of space for exploration and play. Our preschool area has natural space to explore, trees to climb, a digging patch and a vegetable garden. Toddlers enjoy a playground with shade cloth and a sandpit, while our nursery playground features a vegetable garden with a compost bin. Our five age-based indoor spaces are designed to encourage children to learn and grow with a focus on safety and natural elements.
We love to connect with our local area and community through excursions and activities that feed into children’s interests and learning. At Only About Children childcare St Ives, these include visits to the local parks and library and the occasional bus trip. We have also enjoyed sharing visits with the residents at the Bupa Aged Care St Ives facility.
At Only About Children childcare St Ives, enrolment includes access to our innovative Health Program. Your child is supported through specialist screening and ongoing attention in Speech Pathology, Nutrition, Vision and Occupational Therapy. We provide daily nutritious dietitian-designed meals, prepared fresh by our cooks, from breakfast through to evening snack, so your child is well-nourished through their entire day.
At our St Ives childcare centre we believe that our Educators are our greatest strength. They are qualified and passionate about creating an early learning environment where your child can feel happy, nurtured, stimulated and safe. We support the development of growing minds, in nursery and preschool aged children, through our educational curriculum – Oac Grow. Our programs focus on exploration, technology, literacy and numeracy, sustainability and creative expression. All of our teachings are offered in an inclusive, fun environment.
Our innovative play-based curriculum allows Only About Children to stand out from the crowd with intentional teaching in small group learning environments where we track children’s successes, skills and challenges regularly.
